1,000 images contributed by 91 amateur planetary photographers from around the world.
I started this project a year ago and it has taken me thousands of hours to stitch together the images into this animation.

It is also a contribution to Mission Juno: several of the amateurs in this project also contribute to the Mission Juno Pro-Amateur collaboration.

Hope you enjoy this trip to Jupiter made entirely with images taken by amateurs from around the world

This deep exposure reveals the extent of the intricate wrinkly shells that surround this southern planetary nebula in Vela.
There is also a faint blue and red halo visible that extends beyond the wrinkly gas shells.

NGC 4151 is an intermediate spiral Seyfert galaxy with weak inner ring structure located 19 megaparsecs (62 million light-years) from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici. The galaxy was first mentioned by William Herschel on March 17, 1787. It is one of the nearest galaxies to Earth to contain an actively growing supermassive black hole. It was speculated that the nucleus may host a binary black hole, with about 40 million and about 10 million solar masses respectively, orbiting with a 15.8-year period. This is, however, still a matter of active debate.

Passage of the ISS with Thomas Pesquet over Lake Annecy on Monday, January 16, 2017. The Moon illuminates the winter décor during the morning flyover of the French astronaut, and despite the passage of wind-driven clouds, the ISS was quite visible. I set up camp at the belvedere of the Roc de Chère de Talloires, facing the small Annecy lake. The ISS passed perpendicular to the planet Jupiter, visible on the right, before passing behind the horizon in the constellation of Scorpio.
